About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of Easy Lessons in Einstein by Edwin E. Slosson. Published in 1920, Slosson’s Easy Lessons in Einstein is one of the first popularizations of Einstein’s theory of relativity. This book is meant to convey to the general reader the ideas of relativity in non-mathematical terms, by the use of thought experiements and pop-cultural references of the day. This edition also includes a short article by Einstein on Time, Space and Gravitation. (Summary by JoeD)
